I've got my eye on you

You sat staring down at your desk, occasionally looking at Cordelia as the students entered but she was fixed on her computer. You still think about her taunting voice, calling herself mommy.  Is that how she really saw you? And herself? Your stomach and mind was uneasy but soon Cordelia began her instruction.

"Good Morning class, if you will pull out your volume I textbook, and open to page 116, we'll find ourselves in our first lesson, Edith Wharton." She locks eyes with you and you both softly smile.

Class with Cordelia was nothing but a dream, you loved how often she'd call on you, praise you for being correct. Alice shot you a few glances when Cordelia would only pick you. She handed out an assignment and you found yourself a little stuck, fearlessly strutting to her desk for her to help you. Behind her desk, in the seat beside her while she whispered, further explaining the prompt, she touched you secretly and toyed under your skirt, making you fluster while the class had no idea.

You sit back down, still smirking to yourself, blushing and feeling those special butterflies in your stomach.

"Miss Goode seems to really like you," Alice smirks beside you. Your head quickly snaps to her.

"...You think so?"

"Yeah I've never seen her smile so much helping a student."

You look back to your paper, feeling a surge of power through your veins. Many girls sought out the older woman's academic validation and general appeal, and you had her wrapped around your fingers. Despite your height, at your desk, you felt you sat a little taller, with your chin a little higher, and held far more attentiveness than your peers. You were above them in every way. She chose you.

Your day went on normally and Nick walked you to a few classes without Cordelia around. He kept apologizing for everything and thought you were mad at him but you were just trying not to be flirty. It provoked him and gave him too much confidence.

Around lunchtime, you found yourself in the dining hall but no one you knew was around, you received stares here and there, mindlessly standing alone without hopping in a line for food. You think about Cordelia and her current lunch period before her next class.

You hike up your bag and exit the large cafe, finding your way to the resource building to her classroom. She was sitting at her desk with a salad and tea in front of her with her telephone pressed against her ear. She had a smile on her face, laughing as she opened the container.

"Well, knowing your mother I'm not surprised. I may even miss her too honey," she chuckles. She bites her lip in silence, clearly listening to the stranger's voice and closing her eyes. "I know baby. Okay. Bye sweetheart I love you I'll call you soon." She sets her phone back with a click and looks up to see you at the door. Her mouth was slightly agape and she pushed her glasses up a bit. "y/n-"

"No one was in my lunch. I wanted to sit with you. Who was that?" you ask rather shyly, giving her a quick look up and down.

She exhaled deeply, closing her eyes.
"That was my little niece. Where's your lunch?"

"I- I forgot."

"You weren't just in the dining hall?"

"Well I was looking for somewhere to sit and-"

"y/n, by the time you come back with food, lunch will be over. Go back to the dining hall and eat. Nick should be in this lunch with you, you both have my study hall next," she quirks an eyebrow, organizing something on her desk.
